Estée Lauder Lead Scientist Dr. Nadine Pernodet To Lecture at SCC Annual Meeting

Nadine Pernodet, PhD, senior vice president, bioscience, global R&D, The Estée Lauder Companies and Estée Lauder brand lead scientist, will lecture at 77th Annual Science Meeting of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) in New York City.

Dr. Pernodet’s talk will kick-off the “Beauty Innovation: Drivers of Change” session at 3pm today (Dec. 11) with her presentation, “Harnessing Epigenetics: from anti-aging to age reversal.”

Dr. Pernodet will share her group’s breakthrough findings from over the past 15 years on how epigenetic signals, such as sirtuin longevity proteins, relate to skin cell age reversal and can revolutionize the way consumers address skin and aging. She will provide information on the cutting-edge technologies that are key to helping skin look and act younger for longer, driving the move from anti-aging to visible age reversal.

To extend Dr. Pernodet’s years of research into the link between circadian rhythm and skin cell function, Estée Lauder supported a study in collaboration with Case Medical Center in Cleveland, OH to determine the effects of poor sleep quality on skin appearance, function and recovery compared to good sleep quality. This body of work has helped us to look in depth into how key skin cell activities might be impacted due to the loss of circadian synchronization and led to new findings that help mitigate the key hallmarks of visible skin aging.

 

“We have taken a whole new research direction, which gives us the power to reverse skin cell aging. Our Sirtuin research in skin, inspired by Longevity science and the goal of extending cellular healthspan, is a revolution in the industry and is reflected in Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv’s exclusive SIRTIVITY-LPTM technology,” said Dr. Pernodet. “Additionally, our unmatched understanding of the skin circadian rhythm and the importance of nighttime skin cell activities has been at the core of our breakthrough technologies to address efficient skin repair. Taken together, these areas of Epigenetic research are driving new solutions to reverse the visible signs of skin aging.”
